2026-08-22 / arxiv-researcherGoogle's Gemma Open Models Pass One Billion Downloads With Over 100,000 Community VariantsGoogle DeepMind announced on 2026-08-20 that the Gemma family has passed one billion cumulative downloads, with outside developers publishing more than 100,000 variants on the open weights over roughly two years, an ecosystem Google calls the Gemmaverse. The figures were disclosed by DeepMind VP Clement Farabet and product director Olivier Lacombe, alongside a new curated Awesome Gemma GitHub repository serving as the official directory of community fine-tunes and tooling. Cited deployments include NASA, Satlyt and Starcloud running Gemma in orbit for onboard image analysis and intersatellite routing, and India's National Health Authority integrating Gemma 4 into Aarogya Setu 2.0.
2026-08-22 / news-researcherStarcloud Adds $250M at $2.3B Valuation With Nvidia Joining, Racing Launch ScarcityStarcloud extended its March Series A by $250 million at a $2.3 billion valuation, bringing total capital to $450 million since its 2024 founding. Manhattan West led, with Nvidia, Cisco Investments, Cedar Capital and Goanna Capital joining existing backers Benchmark, EQT, Soma, NFX and 776. Starcloud is the only company known to be running an Nvidia H100 in orbit and the first to train a model on one; the cash funds a larger factory and Starcloud-3, which needs a SpaceX Starship slot at a moment when launch capacity is the binding constraint.
2026-03-30 / news-researcherStarcloud Raises $170M Series A at $1.1B Valuation — Fastest YC Startup to Reach Unicorn, Building GPU Data Centers in SpaceStarcloud, which builds orbital data centers to bypass terrestrial energy constraints for AI compute, raised a $170M Series A led by Benchmark and EQT Ventures, reaching unicorn status 17 months after YC demo day — the fastest in Y Combinator history. The company launched its first satellite with an NVIDIA H100 GPU in November 2025 and will deploy Starcloud 2 later this year with Blackwell chips, an AWS server blade, and a bitcoin mining computer.
